Freedom Commentaries & Articles
The Man in the Arena By Theodore Roosevelt (1910) "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out
how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually
in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again
and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows
in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his
place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

Barack Obama has awakened a sleeping nation
Gary Hubbell. Aspen Times Weekly. Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to America
in the last 100 years. Truly, he is the savior of America's future. He is the best thing ever.
The Quest for American Leadership
by Liberty Belle. The election of President Obama, the Tea Party movement and soaring popularity
of Glenn Beck indicate millions of Americans yearn for a better America
Veteran's Day Speech 2009. S peech by 1LT Luke Gorney delivered to the student body of
Waller High School, Waller, Texas. The event is without a doubt the best Veteran’s Day program in the
State of Texas, and arguably the entire United States. (Posted 11-12-09)
What happened (at Fort Hood, Texas)
Since I don't know when I'll sleep (it's 4 am now) I'll write
what happened (the abbreviated version.....the long one is already part of the investigation with more to come). Posted 11-9-09. "The Thin Red Line of Heroes" vanishes
with a whimper. Britain’s Labour government is in trouble, and it should
be. The release of the so-called Lockerbie Bomber by the Scottish authorities with the connivance of Prime Minister Gordon
Brown and his cronies was the straw that broke the British peoples’ collective backs. I suffered a great psychological shock the other day. I realized that
there are people in the United States who actually believe that what is happening is a good thing. That was sobering to say
the least.
No question in my mind that the average, clear thinking American voter
is much smarter and more ethical than the average DC idiot. How this country could have voted these charlatans into office
should tell us just how far our country has fallen.
"He who loses money loses much. He who loses a friend loses
more. But he who loses faith loses all."
Conservative; or Not?
It seems to me that the original neoconservatives, and most of today’s
variety, were made up of liberal intellectuals who rebelled against the Democratic Party on defense issues, and eventually
on a free-market economy. They did not, however, change their views on the entitlement state, gun control, abortion, education
and social services. |

Character Traits of Extraordinary Leaders
by Chris Widener. When people make a decision (either consciously or unconsciously) to follow
your leadership, they do it primarily because of one of two things: your character or your skills.
It is time, ladies and gentlemen. Time to regain the freedom in this
country that has been fought for and guaranteed to us as citizens of the greatest nation on earth.
I don’t think it is any surprise to anyone with the ability
to observe their surroundings that there is something wrong with this country.
In the not too distant past I could have made the statement that any
high school junior could tell you there are three branches of government. Sadly, I can no longer say that.
The Cross
The U.S. Supreme
Court recently heard arguments on whether or not a crude metal cross that has been standing in the Mojave Desert for
75 years can stay there. The cross was placed there as a memorial to those who served and died in World
War I. Mad as Hell....
When asked about the impact of the growing conservative backlash from ordinary rank-and-file Republicans and
Independents he (VA Rep. Tom Davis) described "Tea Partiers" as people who were "unsophisticated politically"
and who didn’t really understand national politics. He off-handedly dismissed them. Lee Iacocca says:
Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? He's now 82 years old and
has a new book, 'Where Have All The Leaders Gone?'.
Blowing Foam Off The Brew
Capitalism and Democracy can not co-exist. Raw Capitalism tends to separate classes of people into extremes.
By its very nature monetary success gives power to the wealthy.
